The Ride Academy

Ian took me for my CBT and Mike assisted him. Not only did I enjoy the day but i felt safe under their supervision. I went from zero experience in the morning to riding on the road before dinner. I enjoyed the pace that was set and Ian's style of teaching really match up with my style of learning. Overall the people at Ride Academy were friendly and welcoming

Any wonder that Ride Academy have a fantastic reputation in Chester and the surrounding region within the biking community and social media from my experience. All the instructors including the owner Dave are highly professional, friendly and very importantly are dedicated to safe riding and tailoring your tuition as you progress towards obtaining your full license. The prices are competitive.Along with my group of fellow trainees we found both the technical and practical learning experience enjoyable and our confidence level increased with every lesson. Having got my full license I went onto achieving the DVSA Enhanced Rider Scheme with Ride Academy. Another great experience which upped my technical knowledge and bike skills - time and money well spent. Over successive years I have been on two-day overnight stay Peak District group tours with Ride Academy which were well-planned great scenic routes, (challenging in some stretches too!) and great fun. Looking forward to the Wales tour in Autumn. Last thing - I’ve made some new friends through Ride Academy which has added big-time to the whole experience.Highly recommended.N.Robinson, Chester.May 2023.

Had an amazing day doing my CBT here last week. I was brand new to motorcycling and had never even sat on one before.Lee and Steve were super knowledgeable and professional. They made sure everyone understood what we were doing and answered all of my questions. They corrected us if we were doing mistakes, it was clear their priority was making sure we were safe and capable at all times.The ride on the road was my favourite part, it felt so rewarding. Lee said I did excellent progress and things are looking good for the rest of my motorcycle learning journey.Looking to do further lessons and gain my A2 license with them soon.Thanks again.

Passed both mod1 and mod2 first time all thanks to the amazing guys at ride academy thank you all so much and a massive shout out to Dave who really helped me build my confidence building up towards both tests you’ve all been amazing. What an enjoyable experience from my first lesson to passing my mod2 today. My dream is now a reality thank you all so much!!

Completed my CBT with The Ride Academy yesterday and absolutely loved it :-) Can't thank Steve, Dave and the whole team enough for giving me the confidence to start riding again after 30 years! If anyone is considering learning to ride a motorbike, especially if you're feeling nervous, I would highly recommend The Ride Academy. I'm already looking forward to the next stage of my motorbike journey with them.

Passed my A2 license first time (for both Mods) with The Ride Academy at the start of August. Absolutely loved my time there as a student. I had Ian, Lee and Dave as my instructors and they were among some of the most knowledgeable and nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. All the instruction I was given was consistent no matter the teacher, and any questions I had they were able to answer without a second thought. Absolutely worth the time, money and distance (given the fact that I live over the water in Liverpool) and I would recommend these guys to anyone. I will absolutely be coming back here to get my A License when I'm eligible for it.

My experience with The Ride Academy has always been fantastic. The friendliest team and very professional. From doing the CBT to my full licence last year they have been amazing teachers. Even just popping down for a chat you'll always be welcomed. I will always recommend anyone to go here as you will be well looked after.I went on to do two tours with these guys in the peak district and again had a great time. The organisation the team puts in before and during the rides make it a perfect trip and you really don't have to think about anything you just relax and enjoy it. I look forward to doing many more with them!
